Has anyone ever had a Boob job

[HelloItsMe]

..or breast augmentation if you're picky lol .. just wondering what you thought of it? Seriously considering having one done.

Maybe watch a few episodes of Botched.

@menstruator.....indeed. there was a woman on once who got something like 50FFF breasts for her "self esteem". It's actually a form of body dysmorphia.

My comment on her views being from the 1940s is that women would only change themselves for the sake of men rather than themselves.

@menstruator

I'm going for mastopexy in a few weeks. Since I breastfed my 2 children, my perfectly acceptable and proportionate DD boobs have become completely saggy. The entire boob is below my 'bra line' when I am braless. I can only wear an underwire bra for a few hours, as it feels like it is digging into me. My everyday bras are cotton, non underwired. I haven't done, but I am considering wearing a bra in bed. They are sweaty and uncomfortable.
I recently had laser eye surgery, after wearing glasses for 40 years.
I've also restyled and coloured my hair. And had my brows tattooed.
I am fit, I swim a few times a week, and I've just signed up for my first Triathlon. (Boobs very uncomfortable running).
Some of my friends think I am mad - and should 'age' naturally. I believe that I am taking care of my appearance for me.

I would like a boob job. My boobs just aren't what they used to be. Of course it would be for own self esteem, that's my conscious thought. However I have to agree that everything 2019willbegreat is saying is sadly correct. It's the unconscious thought process behind the boob job.

The doctor I see for BOTOX works for the NHS treating people who really need his help, people who have suffered terrible injuries or have been born with disfigurement. He openly says that pumping BOTOX in your face for no good reason is ridiculous and when it comes to surgery it should be weighed up against life / mortality benefit against risk. Cosmetic procedures rarely plot well on that matrix.

@Seline....I posted earlier but it doesn't appear to have uploaded.

Breasts are just pockets of fat (with some ductal tissue,) enclosed in skin. So skin to skin contact is a given....like the whole entire body. So I'm not sure what your points, sorry.

What your point is.....thread preview not working so can't proof read before posting
....Well.i could cos I'm.off next we3k so letting him shoe he's paid the tab

2019 you have proven my ignorant remark.

Women don’t just get boob jobs to get perkier boobs - but when they do, it isn’t always for the benefit of men.

You appear to be very narrow minded. Is this coming from a place of insecurity? Genuine question. I’m not sure why else you’d feel so unnecessarily negative and offensive about it.

And you can’t veto someone else’s reason for getting a boob job just because it doesn’t support your view. How ridiculous do you sound now.

Why oh why are so many women unhappy with their perfectly normal, healthy bodies?

My body is still normal and healthy! I haven't damaged it in anyway. It can still do all the things it did before. I just prefer how it looks now.

So skin to skin contact is a given....like the whole entire body. So I'm not sure what your points, sorry.

That it feels really uncomfortable? I don't like the feeling of my boobs touching my skin it feels horrible. Not because I think it looks weird (I prefer the look of them perkier but that's not this) but because it just feels unpleasant.

I feel the same if I gain weight though, hate the feeling of skin "creases" when sitting down etc. Just find it uncomfortable!

Sorry, it seems to have went way off my question. I was looking for people's opinions on their breast augmentation which they had done , if you've not had one done, then to me your comments are irrelevant. Of course I've already read possible things to go wrong... I drive a car everyday and a million things could go wrong also... Like I said I wanted people's experiences, not what people think of people who want breast augmentation 🤔🙄.. and I agree, why so touchy about the topic or what other people want to do with their bodies?

@Seline....unless a person is a living skeleton they will have skin creases.

@offside....I feel negative about it in the same way I feel negative about FGM, anal bleaching, vaginal tightening. All procedures done for men's satisfaction (and porn related preferences,) but which women think they are doing for themselves. When you think about it rationally, why would any woman, as a "gift" to themself, go under the knife and have a foreign body inserted under their skin? Seriously. People make fun of the likes of so called living dolls like Valeria Lukyanovia - but boob jobs are just the more socially acceptable version of this depressing ideology.

@hello....so have you taken on board the comments from those who have regretted it,?

The car driving analogy is weak because breast augmentation is something that no one ever needs except for cosmetic reasons. People often need to drive cars to get to work, pick.up DC etc.

unless a person is a living skeleton they will have skin creases.

Yes but large ones feel uncomfortable.

You can't compare an adult woman choosing to modify her breasts to a man cutting off parts of a woman's clitoris

You don't have to drive .. I know several people that don't drive and haven't their whole lives. It's also a personal preference.. there are other ways of transportation.. but thats not the point, my point is that anything could happen any day in life, living in fear and stopping yourself from doing things because of a risk of something holds you back from things you want.
I have read other people's experiences, but there is more good than bad, so I'm happy with that . I do not know why you are so caught up on this, it's irritating now though. If you don't agree with it fine , but trying to people feel silly for having one or wanting one done is just pointless.

What about people with asymmetric breasts or women who've had breasts removed for medical reasons or women who have no natural breast tissue?

I have. I suffered from severe tubular breasts so mine wasn't that straightforward. I had tissue expander put in first which we slowly expanded every 6 weeks. The pain was unreal, like burning across my chest. I then finally had silicone implants put in. The scars are minimal. About 4 inches along the fold under my breasts. They are white and barely noticeable now.

Honestly 2019 you’re really making me laugh with your sweeping generalisations.

I’m impressed that you know what I’m thinking.

hazandduck and others, it does take about a year for your boobs to go back to normal after bf.
I’ve fed four and was really upset at the state of my boobs after the last one.
I know it’s a bit shallow and they’d ‘given the beautiful gift of life yadda yadda...’
but they were like sad empty sacks that flopped about and wouldn’t stay put in bras etc.

Anyway. They’re lovely now. They slowly filled out and perked up and are better than they were before.

Give your body some time to get back to normal. Then if you’re still not happy you can look into augmentation.

Thank you @sleightofmind that makes me have a little hope for my own saggy little sad sacks!

I totally agree I’m completely pro breastfeeding and would always encourage anyone to try it yadayada, but at the same time I feel so sad about the state of my breasts.

We are currently TTC number two so I will see how war torn they are after breastfeeding our second child.

You’ve filled me with hope :) that’s amazing! Buoyant boobs!

Yes my boobs bf 3 babies and went through a lot. Now 6 years after stopping feeding the 3rd baby they are great. Bigger than they started but pretty firm for a 50 year old. So don't give up hope.

Like everyone I have body hang-ups, but my goal is to learn to love myself with all its flaws, and make the best of what I have by living well. My little droopy post-baby boobs are part of that, part of who I am and my story. It does disturb me that women seek happiness through changing something external. I think happiness and confidence comes fromnlearning to love your natural self and all those imperfections. I will be teaching my daughter the same.
